Anatomy study! Swipe to see the first attempt from 2012 ish.
I was sorting through files on my computer (thanks to no WiFi for a week I have been very bored when I'm not working!) and decided to redraw this one from 2012. I've never really had a defined 'style' of drawing but the difference is so obvious here!
You can see in the first one I was so reliant on soft focus/blurring the heck out of everything so as to hide flaws. In my defence it was one of my first ever digital drawings but... you're your own harshest critic I guess 😅
I filled up multiple sketchbooks with drawings of skulls and body parts and bits of faces, at one point I wanted to be a medical illustrator but I was never all that good with biology/seeing real life dead things (which I now laugh at, having worked at the NHM handling real skulls every week, and the most common phrase I'd say was 'yes, everything is dead)
2019 goal is to draw more things for fun so putting a call out here for anyone who will let me draw them clothed/unclothed, it's so much better than drawing from photos.

COEXIST 2 _ Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, tornadoes... Why do we call them natural disasters? Is nature not claiming what was one hers? Or simply warning us? Nature, the greatest of all forces, inspires this jewel. #nature#naturaldisaster#jewelry#handmade

“There will be an overflow of King quotes today.
May there be an overflow of his love for humanity & his heartfelt commitment to eradicating injustice.
We can’t, with truth and consciousness, quote my father, while dehumanizing each other & sanctioning hate.” —Bernice King

PSA: Super Blood 🔴 Wolf 🐺 Moon 🌕: TONIGHT at 12:16 AM Monday, January 21, 2019 •
Total Lunar Eclipse 🌕: The last to grace the Earth’s sky 🌌 until May 26, 2021 •
First of 2019 (and this is an eclipse-heavy year, with three solar ☀️ and two ✌🏻 lunar eclipses). The partial stage of the lunar eclipse began at 10:34 p.m. EST Sunday night with the total eclipse beginning at 11:41 p.m. EST. Totality lasts for about an hour, and then the moon will exit the partial eclipse phase at 1:51 a.m. EST Monday morning •
FUN FACTS:
Lunar Eclipse 🌙 is when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow. During a total eclipse, the moon passes 🌑 so deep into the shadow that any light reaching its surface only comes from the edge of Earth 🌏, where sunrises 🌅 and sunsets 🌇 are taking place •
Blood 🔴 Moon: That light falls on to the moon and turns it red, or sometimes appearing as a more ruddy brown depending on how dusty your local atmosphere is (among other factors) •
Supermoon 🌕: it will look bigger and brighter, because it’s closer to the earth than usual, during the total lunar eclipse •
Wolf 🐺 Moon: First full moon of the year, January full moon, is named after the howling wolves. Amid the bitter cold 🥶 and deep snows ❄️ of midwinter, the wolf packs howl at each other to communicate •
Where can it be viewed 👁👁? North and South America, Greenland, Iceland, Europe, northern and western Africa, plus the Arctic region of the globe 🌍 •
Being the first full moon of 2019, THE TIME IS NOW to contemplate your 🤔 ideas 💡, habits 📝, practices🧘🏼‍♀️— you may wish to leave some behind, and move forward with others •
